Mild tremors were felt in several parts of the State on Monday.
Panic-stricken residents rushed out of their homes in Prakasam, Guntur, Nalgonda, Krishna, Khammam and Ranga Reddy districts. The tremors, which lasted for three to four seconds, were of intensity below 2.8 on the Richter scale. Describing the tremors as seismic vibrations, the scientists at National Geophysical Research Institute said they could not be recorded at seismic observatory as they were of low intensity.
Tremors were also felt in the Krishna River basin area. At some places walls developed minor cracks and vessels fell down in the kitchens due to the impact of tremors.
It was in January this year when similar tremors were reported in Krishna, Guntur and Khammam districts.
